Plot Summary
Ten years after the death of serial killer Jame Gumb and the escape of cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter, FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling is blamed for a botched drug raid that resulted in five deaths. This attracts the attention of Mason Verger, Lecter’s only surviving victim. A wealthy child molester, Verger was paralyzed and disfigured by Lecter and has been scheming to torture and kill him ever since. Using his wealth and political influence, Verger has Starling reassigned to Lecter’s case, hoping her involvement will draw out Lecter from hiding.

This attracts the attention of Mason Verger, Lecter’s only surviving victim. A wealthy child molester, Verger was paralyzed and disfigured by Lecter and has been scheming to torture and kill him ever since. Using his wealth and political influence, Verger has Starling reassigned to Lecter’s case, hoping her involvement will draw out Lecter from hiding.
To claim Verger’s $3 million bounty for Lecter, Pazzi agrees to help Verger’s men kidnap Lecter without police involvement. However, Lecter subdues Pazzi and forces him to confess. Lecter then disembowels Pazzi and hangs him from the balcony of the Palazzo Vecchio. Verger bribes Krendler to frame Starling for hiding evidence against Lecter, leading to her suspension. Lecter summons Starling to Washington Union Station, where he encourages her to quit her job. However, Verger’s men trail Starling and capture Lecter. Starling infiltrates Verger’s estate, where she learns that Verger intends to feed Lecter alive to a herd of purpose-bred giant forest hogs.
